Less administration.
More time for customers.
We plan to test AI tools on specific tasks and adopt them where they save time or improve service.
- Customer service: help teams respond and follow up.
- Administration: reduce manual scheduling and data entry.
- Software: test features against specific customer needs.
Keep what makes
your business yours.
Local teams know their customers. We aim to preserve that knowledge and keep day-to-day decisions close to the people doing the work.
Management responsibilities and decisions requiring D&P’s involvement will be agreed for each business.
Share what works
across the group.
As we acquire more businesses, we plan to connect their leaders to share experience and solve common problems.
We may invest in existing services, enter new markets or acquire related businesses, depending on each company’s needs.

From introduction
to transition.
Whether you’re ready for a transition
or just thinking about the future.
Tell us your story
Share what you’ve built, what matters to you and what you want from a sale.
Explore the fit
If there is a fit, discuss the team, customers and financials in more detail.
Discuss the terms
Discuss valuation, financing, optional equity rollover, and the role you want to play.
Plan for the long run
Agree the transition, responsibilities and operating priorities.
The details
of a sale.
What to expect from an acquisition.
What happens to my team and my role?
We aim to build on the strengths of the existing team. Your future role, the transition period and management responsibilities would be agreed as part of the transaction.
How would an acquisition be financed?
We discuss the financing and transaction structure for each business after learning about its needs and the seller’s goals. A potential transaction may involve equity and third-party financing, subject to diligence and agreement on terms. Seller notes or rollover can be discussed if they make sense for both sides; they are not requirements for every conversation. We will be clear about the proposed structure as discussions progress.
